7. My seat and frame poles are sticking. Is there anything I can use to help them slide better?

a. WD-40 or similar lubricant (spray it onto a rag and apply. Be cautious of overspray getting onto the tent fabric)

b. Zipper Lube can be found the camping section of your local sporting goods store. This is a gel that you can apply by squeezing it onto the poles and using a rag to wipe off the excess.

c. Other lubricants will work as well, ask your local sporting goods/hardware store for additional products that they recommend
